Abstract: Sweet corn has emerged as a popular vegetable worldwide. Commercial shrunken2 (sh2)-based sweet corn lacks lysine, tryptophan and provitamin-A, deficiency of which cause various health problems. To overcome these problems, marker-assisted stacking of sh2, opaque2… read more here.

Abstract: Phytic acid (PA) acts as a storehouse for the majority of the mineral phosphorous (P) in maize; ~80% of the total P stored as phytate P is not available to monogastric animals and thereby causes… read more here.
